.Alaa on the constitution
"Hi,
Michael in Framingham wrote: " My question, have you read the constitution? Do you support it? Do you think the Sunni's will reject or support it en masse? Are you yourself Sunni? (You don't have to answer that last one if you don't want to) "
Michael: My name is not Salaam, this is a form of greeting which means peace.
Regarding the constitution, this is a difficult question. There are certainly many positive principles, and others that are rather questionable. For instance the one particular clause which states that no laws can be legislated that contradict the basic principles of Islam, is an extremely dangerous phrase and is open to all sorts of interpretations. There is a certain ambiguity in several other clauses which should not be there. Regarding the role of religion, although I consider myself a pious and practicing Moslem, I nevertheless share with the secularists the view that a strict separation between politics and civil law on the one hand and religion on the other is absolutely necessary."

According to Al-Jazeera a Shia clerk says Zarqawi died a long time ago. Very strange.
Cleric says al-Zarqawi died long ago
I think you can add it;).
Well it's kind of silly, it's not the boogieman that keeps the occupation, nor is he an excuse. It's the bombs. If the bombs would stop, it would matter less if he was dead or alive. It's the bombs that, like all the ones we had this week that kill innocent people. Zarqawi might be dead, and there may just be other people behind the attacks, but what matters is that the attacks continue.
This guy was gust playing it up for his French audience.
